I never trust these, even if some people have got them for free, the majority won't.

When in doubt......smile!

and no it's not true. If you want loads of spam then sign up to this. If something looks too good to be true it probably is.

No, it's true. They do work. However, in return, you get spam, end up giving out your credit card number, and it's a pain in the ass to get 5 other people to do it.

9 times out of 10, ignore these type of posts from members with 1 post. They are done by bots who are programmed to scan the net searching for boards. The clever little buggers register themselves and then post some spam.. Pain in the arse.
The only way to stop it happening is to have a registration type service that requires you to look at the screen and type in some combination of letters that are displayed. The bots cant do this (yet)

I know that I got a free iPod from one of these types of websites, but I worked around their "limitations". It's definitely true, just be sure to have a disposable email address, and what-not. The hardest part is getting the other 5 people to agree to something. I used audible.com, because it let you cancel the membership, plus you got two free books. It just takes some work to do, and I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. Just save up and get one is what I say. And buy a cover or something for the iPod, they scratch super easy!

it's still spam and reading it back it does sound like a bot. The internet scares me sometimes if this is what it's come to!! Nothing but a massive marketing campaign... makes me want to get my old C64 out and work on that! user added image

Would maya run on it lol user added image

Don't think work would be too happy if I replaced my workstation with it though

I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong. That's why I didn't repost the link. I respect your decision entirely. user added image

And I agree about the internet, and computers as a whole. Personally I'm starting to loath sitting behind one everyday. It's like I'm in the Matrix, except I put myself there! LOL

These things pay the bills though, so I guess we can't really get rid of these new-fangled shackles we call CPU's.
